Improve English strings used as base for translation #553

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

All

I´m translating QuiteRSS for Portuguese and I notice that many strings are not 
that good.

Since English is the main language for the interface and most used language in 
the world it would be nice if we can have a correct use of that language. 

AFAIK, that is not the main langiage of the developers so we should find 
someone to proofread tha source strings for better English strings.

As of example:  

Some new strings for new release:

"Save instead of description news"

1 - Save what?
2 -  description news -> Should´t this be news description? What do we save 
here?

"Save page in DB instead of description news"

1- Now I know what to save. And again description news.

"Allow loading page with statistics of using application"

What is this using application? QuiteRSS or another? If it´s QuiteRSS 
shouldn´t this be application usage? I really can´t tell.

And many other have issues. I can help in providing better strings but I´not 
an English native speaker. And apart from that strings to review are 1008 and 
my free time is limited but I can do my best to help out.

Regards

Fully agree with you.
At present our users just tell as about mistakes. For example by using jabber.

Egor,

I think you shouldn´t close this issue. My idea isuse this issue for 
users/translators/developers report issues found and when strings are fixed 
striketrough that we all know that what is already done and what still needs to 
be fixed?
